<p>
I have been wanting <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/" target="_blank">Photoshop CS3</a> for quite awhile now, but just could not justify $649. So I had been using Photoshop Elements, trying to replicate the effects that are possible in CS3. I will say that you can do a good bit with Elements, but I kept wanted for the full experience. The good news is that Adobe is running a special now where you can get CS3 for $299 as an upgrade to Elements. You won&#39;t find this on their web site, if you go through the normal Adobe site you will see that the <a href="https://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&view=ols_prod&category=/Applications/Photoshop&distributionMethod=UPGRADE&nr=0&promoid=BQUEA#loc=en_us&rangeUpper=6%2C0%2C65%2C0&HTMLVerRedirect=true&returnURL=%2Fcfusion%2Fstore%2Fhtml%2Findex%2Ecfm%3Fstore%3DOLS%2DUS%26promoid%3DBQUEA%26event%3DdisplayProduct%26categoryPath%3D%2FApplications%2FPhotoshop%26distributionMethod%3DUPGRADE&store=OLS-US&view=ols_prod&category=/Applications/Photoshop&distributionMethod=UPGRADE&nr=0&promoid=BQUEA&viewName=Adobe%20Store%20%2D%20North%20America&pageNotFound=0" target="_blank">upgrade from Elements is $549.</a> You will need to call, <strong>1-800-585-0774</strong> with Offer Code <strong>27105</strong>, and you will need your Elements serial number for verification. But hurry this offer is only good till <strong>February 29th, 2008</strong>.

I have mine on the way, now I won&#39;t need to try to figure out my way around Elements when doing all those great tutorials that <a href="http://paxtonprints.com/" target="_blank">Steve Paxton</a> and <a href="http://blog.epicedits.com/" target="_blank">Brian Auer</a> put together.

<em>UPDATE: I found the link to the Adobe page advertising the offer <a href="http://direct.adobe.com/v?xJlqHqlEJTqTJvP" title="http://direct.adobe.com/v?xJlqHqlEJTqTJvP">http://direct.adobe.com/v?xJlqHqlEJTqTJvP</a> I believe you will still need to call since when I tried to order online the code did not work. Reminder this deal expires tomorrow the 29th. </em>
